ACES_HIGH renders using Poser I believe, which is similar. Might want to ask him.
You called?
They are similar, the GUIs are completely different, but I should be able to help. I have Daz too, I hardly ever use it, but I can still look for something if you need help.
Obviously the first thing I noticed was the aforementioned egg-world, it seems that the background was stretched to fit the render window, in Render Settings, you need to change the dimensions of the render to match the aspect ratio of the image.
I'm not as familiar with setting up the materials in DAZ, but from what I understand they are handled the same way as Poser, which doesn't know how to use multichannel images, so glows will need to be separated from the original texture.
To do that, open the images in photoshop, then on the select menu, click load selection and then choose the selection "Alpha 1" in the selection box of the window that pops up, check the "invert" box then click Ok. You now have everything except the glowing bits highlighted, so set your color to black and black it all out, leaving the glows. After this, all you need to do is save it as a different file name.
once you have your alpha glows ready, go into the mat settings and add the new glow textures to the Ambient tab of each material, and set the ambiant color to white.
